2003 Boxster doesn't corner as good as 2011 Golf TDI?

Based from what I've observed, no leak on struts Boxster: 81k miles, TDI: 31k miles

Cold pressure and I bumpped up the front because my new front tires are 225 vs stock 205.

I'll need to have a good look at all the bushings.

I think the bumpy East coast roads have wore out your struts. And bushings. Your spring rates have dropped and the shock's ability to control body motions has diminished.

Worn front control arm bushings will cause vaugeness in the steering (floating).

You put on new front tires? How about the rears? Do your tires match?

Has the car been in a collision? Any front end damage?

Car needs:

- Front control arm bushings, struts, springs (lower it), matching tires, proper alignment.
